Edgar Allan Poe, a troubled yet brilliant writer, wrote many remarkable stories throughout his marvelous writing career. Poe produced a distinguished body of stories, in which he includes Gothic elements to give his audience a dark and eerie feel. In November of 1846, Poe published a story titled "The Cask of Amontillado." This short story is about a man named Montresor and his desire to seek revenge on Fortunato for an unspecified insult. Montresor lures Fortunato into the catacombs by inebriation and convincing him to try a cask of amontillado. In short, the plot dealt with the premeditated murder of Fortunato. What makes this story so interesting is the distinctive and unique writing style throughout the story. In "The Cask of Amontillado," …show more content…
Poe does a stupendous job when incorporating both dramatic and verbal irony, giving the "ahh" to his readers. One of the more prominent examples of dramatic irony occurs when Montressor approaches the intoxicated Fortunato. In hopes of revenge, Montresor is quite excited to find his friend in such a state. Furthermore, adding to the dramatic effect, Poe names the intoxicated character Fortunato, which means, the fortunate. The irony becomes recognizable when Fortunato's dreadful fate is determined. Fortunato was led to a blind death by someone who he feels is a "friend," but in actuality, a past friend who is seeking revenge, that was pretty unfortunate. Poe's use of verbal irony is apparent when Montresor suggests Fortunato to go home because he is ill. Fortunato’s response was “I shall not die of a cough.” And Montresor’s replies, "True –true.” This is ironic because Montresor knew that the intoxicated Fortunato is not aware of his surroundings and he knows that the journey to his death will continue no matter what. Montresor gave Fortunato countless times of being free, but due to his intoxication, he does not realize the chances to live Montresor has thrown at

- Othello Final Speech Analysisanalytical essayPoe uses irony in his story to engage the reader throughout his text, build suspense and create tension. Poe’s story uses information that readers already know and consequently uses irony in order to sustain the readers interest. He uses dramatic irony, since Fortunato is unaware that Montresor attempts to kill him, but the readers know that he will. Montresor reveals early that he is seeking revenge on Fortunato, therefore, when Montresor expresses concern about Fortunato’s health in line 36, "Come," I said, with decision, "we will go back; your health is precious. You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be missed. For me it is no matter. We will go back; you will be ill, and I cannot be responsible. (36), the reader already knows his plan. He is just trying to trick him into believing him that he cares about him to gain his trust. He also uses verbal irony, "Enough," he said; "the cough's a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough.” (Poe37), but Fortunato already knows how he will die later on. This example illustrates how vague Fortunato is and has no clue of Montresor’s evil intentions. The situational irony Poe uses in the story is when Montresor kills Fortunato and walks out of the catacombs. Montresor says, “my heart grew sick; it was the
